I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming

The Ready Set I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming Lyrics
1.Love Like Woe

(J-J-J-J-JR)
Whoa-oh, oh, oh.
Whoa-oh, oh, oh.
I kinda feel like it don't make sense.

I'm thinking baby, you and I are undeniable
But I'm finding out love's unreliable.
I'm giving all I got to make you stay.
Or am I just a roadblock in your way?

'Cause you're a pretty little wind storm out on the boulevard.
Something like a sunset,
Oh, you're a shooting star.
And I might drive myself insane,
If those lips aren't speaking my name.

'Cause I've got some intuition-
Or maybe I'm superstitious,
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down
To counter this addiction.
You got me on a mission.
Tell me, darling, can I get a break somehow?

(How) could I say no?
She's got a love like woe. (whoa-oh, oh, oh)
Girl's got a love like woe. (la da da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out
again.
Love so strong, then you moved on.
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out
again.

It's like a hurricane, speed train
She's a moving car.
Catch her in the fast lane,
Oh, I gotta know:
Can I keep up with her pace?
Kickin' into gear when I see that face.

You can take up all my time 'cause you're the only one
That can make a storm cloud break, pullin' out the sun.
And I can't get caught in the rain.
Can I get your lips to speak my name?

'Cause I've got some intuition-
Or maybe I'm superstitious,
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down
To counter this addiction.
You got me on a mission.
Tell me, darling, can I get a break somehow?

(How) could I say no?
She's got a love like woe. (whoa-oh, oh, oh)
Girl's got a love like woe. (la da da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out
again.
Love so strong, then you moved on.
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out
again.

'Cause we only have one life.
The timing and the moment all seem so right.
So would you say you're mine?
(We'll be just fine.)
Would you say you're mine?
(We'll be just fine.)

She's got a love like woe. (whoa-oh, oh, oh)
Girl's got a love like woe. (la da da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out
again.
Love so strong, then you moved on.
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out
again.

She's got a love like woe. (whoa-oh, oh, oh)
Girl's got a love like woe. (la da da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out
again.
Love so strong, then you moved on.
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out
again.


2.More Than Alive

You go for seconds and days
I live for moments to say
That I may never get a second chance
Don't throw it away
Living for dollars and dimes
They'll all diminish in time
Oh let that motion come and crash
Like a plane from the sky
It was a long ride down the east coast
In a city can't keep
Could you keep up on your feet
And I was struck down by the west coast
It was a quarter to three but it don't do sleep

Don't follow the freeway
Break the routine
Cuz everything is second to your dreams
If this is the green light
Take what you need
And break out of this hospital scene
I'm running through a stop sign
Countin up the quick lights
I don't want to slow slow slow slow down down
I'm running through a stop sign
Living so it feels right
I don't want to slow slow slow slow down down
Don't wanna slow it down

But I give impatience a try
Got a little enveloped in time
Cuz I watch you come and watch you go
And it don't seem right
Living for speed limit signs
Ignoring cross every line
Gotta let emotion take you over 20 miles at a time

Don't follow the freeway
Break the routine
Cuz Everything is second to your dreams
If this is the green light
Take what you need
And break out of this hospital scene
I'm running through a stop sign
Countin up the quick lights
I don't wanna slow slow slow slow down down
I'm running through a stop sign
Living so it feels right
I don't want to slow slow slow slow down down
Don't wanna slow it down

I'm running through stop sign
Got the world on my side
You know break light feeling more than alive
But it's so right see the shadow shadow tonight tonight
I'm running through stop sign
Got the world on my side
You know break light feeling more than alive
But it's so right see the shadow shadow tonight tonight
To see the shadow shadow tonight

Don't follow the freeway
Break the routine
Cuz Everything is second to your dreams
If this is the green light
Take what you need
And break out of this hospital scene
I'm running through a stop sign
Countin up the quick lights
I don't wanna slow slow slow slow down down
I'm running through a stop sign
Living so it feels right
I don't want to slow slow slow slow down down
Don't wanna slow it down
I'm running through a stop sign
Countin up the quick lights
I don't wanna slow slow slow slow down down
I'm running through a stop sign
Living so it feels right
I don't want to slow slow slow slow down down
Don't wanna slow it down slow it down slow it down


3.Limits

She's got my heart strapped down
To the beat just like an 808.
Did you know I'm thinking of you every day?
Is it wrong?
Is it wrong?
Is it wrong?
Is it too loud now?
Is it shaking up your bones,
Yeah, from head down to your toes?
Roll along.
Roll along.
Roll along.

She's gonna move like the smoke in your lungs.,
And I've been dreaming I can feel her on the tip of my tongue,
And tell me how you're feeling,
We could touch the ceiling.
Jump-start my heart.

Oh, girl,
I wanna know your love.
I wanna feel your warmth on my skin (so recklessly).
I'll show up and be your summer love,
'Cause you're the breakout feeling of my week (so endlessly).
Say there's still time. Ooo

Did you feel the bass stop?
Drop your heart,
Pick it up, yeah.
I wanna see your night eyes,
And if it feels right,
Then maybe we can be alone.
Take everything around you,
Let me surround you,
Is it wrong?
Is it wrong?
Is it wrong?
Is it too late now,
For me to compliment your style?
You've got that subtle grace for miles.
Roll along.
Roll along.
Roll along.

She's gonna move like the smoke in your lungs.,
And I've been dreaming I can feel her on the tip of my tongue,
And tell me how you're feeling,
We could touch the ceiling.
Jump-start my heart.

Oh, girl,
I wanna know your love.
I wanna feel your warmth on my skin (so recklessly).
I'll show up and be your summer love,
'Cause you're the breakout feeling of my week (so endlessly).
Say there's still time. Ooo

Feel your heart drop,
Pick it up, yeah.
And I can tell we're gonna be alone.
So when the heat lacks,
Bring it back,
Could you be my own?
'Cause the weather's getting kinda cold.

She's gonna move like the smoke in your lungs.,
And I've been dreaming I can feel her on the tip of my tongue,
And tell me how you're feeling,
We could touch the ceiling.
Oh, oh.

Oh, girl,
I wanna know your love.
I wanna feel your warmth on my skin (so recklessly).
I'll show up and be your summer love,
'Cause you're the breakout feeling of my week (so endlessly).

Night sky,
Light up your diamond eyes,
And baby, you won't feel alone
I'll show up, and be your summer love,
And feel the heat seep through my bones.
(So endlessly)


4.Stays Four The Same

I could have wrote down
Every thought I've been thinking to myself all this past year
But would it stand out
Oh I want to make myself clear

And baby clearly
I need some balance in my ears right now
Cause I've been freaking myself out
And I've been waking this whole town

And then I turn myself inside out
La Da Da Da Da
And it?s all about the way your hips move side to side
Left to right guide me home tonight

And I need a little more thunder
A little more lighting
A little more you
Be my lantern help me shine on through

So said I I got to call my brain for the words to say
And if you don?t feel right then it?s a wasted night
The price to pay is so
So high

And the irony could be cut with a knife
Cause it's my first chance
But it's my last chance
Alright

And then I turn myself inside out
La Da Da Da Da
And its all about the way your hips move side to side
Left to right guide me home tonight

And I need a little more thunder
A little more lighting
A little more you
Be my lantern help me shine on through

Baby well I got to have you loving me tonight
And when my world has
Become a whirlwind
Would you be my white flag

Speed up like sugar I'm a wreck
And you know I can?t do a thing about it about it
Bring me down on my knees
Let me take another chance oh please
???? something about a train really fast lol

Speed up like sugar I'm a wreck
And you know I can?t do a thing about it about it
Bring me down on my knees
Let me take another chance oh please

I've got a (?)
Stood strong it was the best for me
My town is irrele-irrelevant
Blue eyes match green lights

And I need a little more thunder
A little more lighting
A little more you
Be my lantern help me shine on through

And I need a little more thunder
A little more lighting
A little more you
Be my lantern help me shine on through

Baby well I got to have you loving me tonight
And world has
Become a whirlwind
Would you be my white flag


5.There Are Days

And I'll catch you now
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh

I've been asleep since Monday morning,
But I won't let time control me.
Putting in my two weeks now, (yeah, yeah)
And every day it's hard believing,
It's getting worse each night I'm dreaming.
In one split second I'm falling back, (yeah, yeah)

It's all perfect in my life.
Perfect in my life.

I'll wave hello to the world.
If you're falling down,
I will catch you now.
Watch from the stars and see that you're falling down.
I will catch you now.

A monumental mess worth meeting,
it took a couple more nights stuck staring at the ceiling.
Oh, do I really feel this way? (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause I'm a spectator spectating,
Wishing I could feel the warmth of spring.
And it's thoughts like this that keep me up (yeah, yeah)

It's still perfect in my life.
Perfect in my life.

I'll wave hello to the world.
If you're falling down,
I will catch you now.
Watch from the stars and see that you're falling down.
I will catch you now.

And I'll catch you now
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh
And I'll catch you now
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh

There are days when I would rather be alone,
not picking up the phone.
It feels like I've been set free.
But there is never a time when I wish I was gone.
Whoa, whoa.

I'll wave hello to the world.
If you're falling down,
I will catch you now.
Watch from the stars and see that you're falling down.
I will catch you now.

And I'll catch you now
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh
And I'll catch you now
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh
And I'll catch you now
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh
And I'll catch you now
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh,
Catch you now,
Oh, oh, oh


6.Spinnin'

You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.

Start it up with a single touch,
If I said I'd leave it'd be a bluff.
I'm locked and loaded It's so clear,
I'm alone. I'm insane.
She's my hometown hurricane,
The weather's better from out here.
I can think,
I can dream of you,
But that gets so quizzical,
Maybe I'm a bit less suitable.

Oooo, Oooo
Shine like a centerfold,
Tore out your page to keep you right here..
Ooo, Ooo,
My head is spinning now,
Rotate and turn my world around, dear.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.

Run away, it's a test,
If I fail,
I must confess
My mind will wander at times, dear.
I'm alone. I'm insane.
It's the only price I pay
To ride the storm out with sights so clear.
I can think, I can dream of you
And it comes off lyrical,
You stole the show.

Oooo, Oooo
Shine like a centerfold,
Tore out your page to keep you right here..
Ooo, Ooo,
My head is spinning now,
Rotate and turn my world around, dear.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.

You're irresistible,
I can't get a grip I know,
Focused on you moving so slow.
Am I predictable?
You've heard it before, I know, but it's alright.

Oooo, Oooo
Shine like a centerfold,
Tore out your page to keep you right here..
Ooo, Ooo,
My head is spinning now,
Rotate and turn my world around, dear.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.
You keep spinning around.


7.Melody's Song

Assuming I know that people around are moving to downtown,
They're learning to get down, whoa.
And let me say here- I'm glad that they lost their fears;
I'm glad that they cut their tears, 'cause I'm over that.

Change can, run around your head,
Kill your thoughts instead;
Leaving you spinning around and all out of control.
And lately, oh, it's amazing, I'm not letting it phase me;
But I'm feeling alive tonight.
(Will you let me shine?)
Whoa...

You spelled my name,
When I was young, I need you right there;
And you ran so fast.
You stayed the same.
Oh Melody, I hope that you care, you care, you care, you care.

Girls on the West Coast, sing it like you used to!
Boys on the East Coast, scream with some heart!

Six years, (six years) and I'm learning about the darker side,
I'm getting a feel for the faster life- I took sides.
Long nights (long nights) and the drives we made through.
Oh, what I did for you...
Well, it took some time.
(Can I live my dream?)
It took some time.

You spelled my name,
When I was young, I need you right there;
And you ran so fast.
You stayed the same.
Oh Melody, I hope that you care, you care, you care, you care.

And I'll never see the world without you.
And I'm all about how it's gonna be (I can't complain, I can't
complain)
You opened up the world around me, me, me.

I couldn't have made it through,
I'm counting all my debts in my head, in my head.
And I'll always be radio.

You spelled my name,
When I was young, I need you right there;
And you ran so fast.
You stayed the same.
Oh Melody, I hope that you care, you care, you care, you care.

Girls on the West Coast, sing it like you used to!
Boys on the East Coast, scream with some heart!
I'll write a song to remember where I came from,
Just give me that sound, I'll be fine.


8.Upsets And Downfalls

It's hard to write out an apology.
Am I the person I'm supposed to be?
'Cause I'm a lover in a fighter's clothes..
If my words fail to hold true,
Then I think you should know,
I couldn't tell you to leave if I had to,
But I can't make you believe that I want you.
So please some over and I'll make right
All the sad nights and hard lines.
And I will look you in the eye,
'Cause it's not over yet.
Here we go.

Give me your heart,
Because I need it like I used to.
You are a star shining down on me.
I had a chance, and that chance is that baby,
This is all I need.

See I've been running races on my own time,
Shutting out the people who have stuck with me my whole life.
So if there's something that I could say
To re-stitch the ties that I let fray,
Then I would surely patch that tear
'Cause loose ends can go nowhere.

Give me your heart,
Because I need it like I used to.
You are a star shining down on me.
I had a chance, and that chance is that baby,
This is all I need.
Give me your heart,
Because I need it like I used to.
You are a star shining down on me.
I had a chance, and that chance is that baby,
This is all I need.

Know ahead my mouth won't say
'I love that you love me'.
I swear that's the case.
If you're left with only tears,
I'm stuck with nightmares,
These ghosts,
And these fears.
I won't let you down.
I'm gonna run through the night till my soul's taking flight.
Live in the sound.
I'm watching the skies open up with my arms waving out.
Oh, I've missed you badly.

Give me your heart,
Because I need it like I used to.
You are a star shining down on me.
I had a chance, and that chance is that baby,
This is all I need.
Give me your heart,
Because I need it like I used to.
You are a star shining down on me.
I had a chance, and that chance is that baby,
This is all I need.
This is all I need.


9.The Ghost Of Los Angeles

Whoa oh

And I won't feel your breath on my neck
It's like an alarm
And I can't love you in this ghost town
We're all dead and we're all gone
And I haven't called you up and pulled you
And I hear you're all alone
But it can't be love if you keep asking
You keep asking

I stopped breathing
Will you catch me now
Let me down
You take over baby can I miss my flight
And I come back to you tonight
Is someone out there

Don't say that you're the only lonely one
You know I'm the one who set the sun
Just stay ??? ??? to the sun
Oh dear
Collaborate our fears
Another turn out here away
Oh you could never let me down
I got the feeling that I let you down

I stopped breathing
Will you catch me now
Let me down
You take over baby can I miss my flight
And I come back to you tonight
Is someone out there

You are the loneliness
But I'm in my hotel bed
See I think of you all of the time
And when you swore I should pray you were right

Sometimes I feel like I'm never alone
Like I can feel you moving through my bones
And you're not when you're sleeping
Cause everyone's dreaming
We're all under the same moon

She said I'll follow you to LA
She said I'll follow you to LA
She's gonna follow you to LA
To LA, yeah

I stopped breathing
Will you catch me now
Let me down
You take over baby can I miss my flight
And I come back to you tonight
Is someone out there

Don't stop breathing
Cause we're alive
And we'll get by
I'll come over baby can I miss my flight
And I come back to you tonight
Is someone out there

I turn my terror to the words I don't remember
Where I've been I come around
I come around (I come around)
You spun my mind around so fast
Do you recall the things I asked?
Baby I'll be there

Whoa oh


10.Giants

right direction baby.
